When you say burning oil, do you mean in copious amounts, with tons of smoke and all?? Or do you just mean that every week the oil level is a little lower than the week before??

FD's consume oil naturally as a means of lubricating their seals, so if it's just a little bit missing, at a steady rate, than you're good to go.

As for everything else.. that kinda sucks, whats the compression?
